Yeah you think they'd have it ready before making a major change like that. IMO they should of not only had it ready but let members know ahead of time they were no longer giving 5 points for disqualification.

It could be pretty grim 30 opened ...28 DQ ...90 mins spent.. Filling Demographics and answering mini DQ surveys where they get the majority of what they need...where do you shop how often do you shop how much do you spend....DQ

@Admin The 5 points for DQs is part of what made Univox unique.
I really hope this is all false and a just a Rumor because
If that's really going to be the case I might as well just give up right
now as this almost seems to be the only way my points total grew.
This is a big plus for this site and I tell everyone that.
I try out for every survey offered and only get accepted to very very
few ever so without the 5point DQ I am really just wasting my time here.

I haven't recieved a survey in 3 days, that's never happened before. Admin was saying that people are clicking the survey just to get the 5 points, but if I don't click on the survey, how do I know if I will qualify or not? That's illogical circular reasoning.

I can tell you it is not working at this point - I spent over an hour on 3 surveys last night and this morning - no 5 points, no anything - so whatever they have done - everything is broke at this point - only get confusing post from Admin on Shout and have you noticied - NOTHING on the forum from Admin .....Ummmmmmmmm.......

I've said that too but why can't they give details to what the new payment system will be? And why didn't they let us know before it'd be changed that it would be changed and what the changes would be? Seems like they didn't actually have a plan in place before changing the payment system, which IMO is bad business.

People are upset because about 80% of surveys that used to pay 5 points no longer do. I had about 30 surveys attempted yesterday that I got nothing for because I couldn't get past sample cube. Also had a completed survey that didn't credit and a few where I got over 4 pages into the main survey but still wasn't credited. It's not my fault univox sends me repeat surveys or ones that don't match my profile.

Agree - so now we have to keep track of surveys - so my question is - What is their numbering system - I keep a running log of survey numbers and can assure you that when i get the dreaded "survey already taken" - it was not in my log - so how is Univox numbering their surveys ?

This new system really sucks. I've been with Univox for about 3 years and I've always been honest with them. Now it seems I will have to move on. I guess some suit with a MBA decided this new compensation plan would save money and, truth be told, it may do that. I'm so sorry they decided on this idea going forward. Faithful participants like myself will move on and that's probably what they want. The quality of their research will suffer but hey, who cares about that. They saved a nickel. WOW!!!

My thoughts exactly - almost seems like they are "cleaning house"- but in the business world - that means all the corporate knowledge is walking out the door to save a nickle - been there and seen that !!! Unfortunately everyone including Univox suffers - sad business model that it looks like they are trying ........

The "compensation" 5pts DQ's time spent in univox...time spent in surveys..you will be indivudually assesed and a "Surprise Amount" will be awarded at the end of the month..for your personal contribution..
(Something along those lines)

Also something new is also being implemented in the next 2 weeks...but they never mentioned what that entailed...

My guess is it will be weeks or months before any new compensation program is in place. As many others have stated here, I will probably do few if any surveys at Univox until something changes for the better. I spend too much time doing the repetitive sample cube questions over and over with no 5 points for DQ - I can earn much more at other survey sites now that the 5 point DQ is gone so I have moved on and just check back here to see what others are saying about the changes.

I might give you a couple points if you do
get into surveys and complete ones that you
could never get into like before?

Huh? Say What?
Are we talking in Riddles now?

So what do you think they will compensate
me for a couple surveys that I might get in
a month if any I get in at all?

Ridiculous eh?

That was why everyone Raved about this site!
Because not like other site at least you got 5points
for DQ's , so you something then anyway?
I call this totally unfair on this whole deal and can
see them loosing people over it happening!
It is really to bad that the Admin or Team guy can't see this?
Now if it was a compensation award for total time on any
of the UNIVOX sections that we participate in then at
least that would be fair and make more sense and get
people to work and use the whole community not just
clicking into the surveys?
There are a bunch of people I know about that spend
a great deal of time on site as you can tell by their
posting and comments but others there is nothing
from them,So Univox-team & Adim please take note!!!

I am very sorry for writing the essay folks
Hope you all enjoyed the read?
And Hope Team Univox and Admin.Reads it too

Try the higher payouts Mitzi Drye befor they evaporate... I do maybe 5-6 a month where i actually get in and complete... 6 invites a day tops ..none in the past 3 days ...my "surprise amount" .... I'll owe them a fiver... No point letting surveys dissapear..try a few...new site...try a few more...if your email invites dry up
Or you've completed from all your other sites have another go..
Its your loss at the end of the day?
Maybe jump in shout mix and ask...do the new rules come into effect now and will be payed at the end of this month once they have worked out strategies their end...it just seems to me they will be making themselves a greater workload..
